How a Genius in the Kingdom of Magic Lives

chapter 6



『The state of all things is insightful – Author: Carra Rain.』

A bright smile broke out on Leo’s face as he picked up the book with a purple cover.

‘Insight of all things. A unique ability that allows NPCs to obtain a status window just like users.’

It has the effect of being able to objectively examine one’s ability, and it was one of the abilities Leo needed the most right now.

Suddenly, my eyes were fixed on the author of the book.

I came to the library with the intention of getting it, and my expectations were met.

However, he immediately looked at me curiously.

‘Cara Rain? It’s a name I’ve never heard of.’

It seems that the book he is looking for is correct, but the title and author are unusual.

I had never heard of this name before.

However, Leo soon dispelled the doubts in his head.

What does that matter?

After all, what matters is the content.

Leo immediately opened the book.

[All things have their own abilities and limitations from the time they were created. It develops over time, and if you have eyes to see it… .]

He turned a page in a book almost every five seconds.

With just a quick glance, the contents of the type hit my head.

It was proof that intelligence and understanding were overwhelmingly good.

Palak. Palak.

The pages turned quickly, and soon after, I perused all the way to the last page.

-You have acquired the insight of all things.

As I heard a voice in my ear, the book I was holding disappeared without a trace.

Surprised, Leo raised his head.

“I-I can’t believe this!”

How can you not know this?

The sound I heard while playing the game for 10,000 hours.

It is a system notification sound.

“ha ha ha… . Can you even hear the system voice?”

Leo let out a mischievous laugh.

I don’t know anything else, but this sound that hit me in the ear was telling me that this world was more heterogeneous than anything else.

Leo looked at the mirror hanging on the library wall.

I saw a handsome child with silver hair.

Its appearance is expected to be what it will look like when it grows up.

But this time there was something unusual.

Letters floated above Leo’s head.

-Name: Leo Asian Rom Karst-

-Job: Wizard-

-Talent-

[Strength: 1/10] [Agility: 1/10] [Stamina: 2/10] [Comprehension: 10/10] [mana: 10/10]

-Special Ability-

[Insight of All Things <U>]

-Possessed characteristics-

[Magic genius] [Highest mana sensitivity] [Eyes that see mana] [God of spell interpretation] [Highest brain rotation] [Absolute memory] [Highest mana retention] [Standard will] [Low physical ability] [Low physical recovery] [Body] [Weakness] [Sick constitution] [Chronic lack of stamina] [Heaven-sent talent]

The insight of all things was activated.

‘Also… .’

Leo let out a deep sigh.

Strength and agility 1, stamina 2.

And his comprehension and magical powers were a whopping 10, violent talent.

It was the same state he created when he set up the character.

‘Looking at it again, one of the status windows is dead… .’

It is the 10 talents that I wonder if there was even one person in history.

Leo had two of them.

If he grew up well like this, he would have won the position of one of the best wizards in the world.

yes.

It means ‘if you do well’.

Leo’s gaze moved to the lower part of the status window.

From [Magical Genius] to [Sturdy Will], these are traits created thanks to understanding and magical abilities.

And from then on, the characteristics such as [lowest physical ability] and [lowest physical recovery] were randomly applied penalties.

‘Everything related to the body was penalized.’

Poor physical ability, low physical resilience, body size, frailty, sickness… .

Even if you have only one of these, it is difficult to achieve greatness in occupations that use your body.

But Leo was holding a bunch of those things.

In other words, occupations such as high-ranking knights, combat mercenaries, and martial artists should not even be looked at in the first place.

Of course, Leo didn’t care too much.

Anyway, he planned to become a wizard from the beginning, and now his background is also the prince of the kingdom of magic.

I didn’t have to take another job.

‘yes. Let’s assume that other things can. But that… That’s a bit difficult.’

The last penalty trait that caught his eye.

[Heavenly talent]

‘Even if it does, will it take something like this… .’

Leo let out a deep sigh.

At first glance, it seems like a buff ability rather than a penalty.

But it was a bright apricot.

As he stared at the trait, a detailed description of the trait appeared.

[Talent from the sky: Those who have the talent from the sky are short-lived. The older the holder of this trait, the more their talents bloom. However, he dies before reaching the age of 20.]

Leo Asian Rom Karst.

currently seven years old.

He had 13 years left.

* * *

The evening after Leo stopped by the library.

A new guest came to the normally quiet royal library.

“Hello, Your Excellency, Marquis Merverd.”

“Didn’t I tell you? There is no need to greet us so politely.”

The Marquis of Merverde scolded the librarian who greeted him.

“Wouldn’t it be boring if I said hello every time I saw you?”

“It can’t be. There is no shortage of respect for a 6th class mage.”

“I’m bored, I am. So you can stop saying such polite greetings.”

“If the Marquis says so, I understand.”

The librarian nodded.

Of course, the Marquis Merverde knows very well that the next time he sees it will be the same.

I’ve already had dozens of similar conversations like this.

So the Marquis Merverde changed the subject.

“Hmm. Look. How did you feel?”

The Marquis of Merverde spoke out without a word.

But the librarian understood immediately.

“You are talking about Prince Leo.”

“You understand at once?”

“If there’s anything worth asking me about, the only thing I can think of is the prince who was gone this morning.”

The librarian smiled softly.

“He was an amazing person.”

“Interesting?”

“Yes. Like the unusual way of speaking that a 7-year-old shows, how he wandered around in this large library without my guidance, and how he focused for a long time while looking at difficult books. It was definitely different from normal children.”

“hahahaha.”

Marquis Merverde laughed.

It seems that the librarian, like himself, felt that Prince Leo was unusual.

“What book did the prince read?”

“Because you read so many books… He kept wandering around the North Bookshelf. He took several books from there and read them.”

“North? there… .”

“Yes. It is a collection of books of unsolved mysteries and secrets.”

“Hmm. Right. Would you mind giving me one of the things the prince has seen?”

“Here it is.”

As if the librarian knew it, he handed me one of the books he was sorting out.

[Mysteries of the Continent – Forgotten and Dangerous Areas.]

‘The mystery of the continent?’

The Marquis of Merverde made a puzzled expression.

This is a book he knows.

It is an object that few people find now, and it was a book that described the strange customs, topography, and events of the continent.

However, as the author turned out to be a fraud, it was now gathering dust in a corner of the library.

‘Not too long ago, they looked at history books like that, then they searched for magic books, and now it’s about legends and stories.’

Maybe the prince wants to be an adventurer?

The librarian asked the Marquis Merverde who smiled at that thought.

“By the way, I heard that the prince’s talent is outstanding. How much is that?”

It’s a rumor that’s been floating around the palace lately.

It’s nothing else, Prince Leo is overflowing with talent, to the point of being mentioned at the monthly meeting.

He was a genius endorsed by Marquis Merverd, a 6th-class wizard.

Rumors had already spread among the nobles.

“I’m thinking of finding out now.”

The Marquis laughed softly.

“Your Majesty, as well as nobles, are curious about it. I wonder how much the prince’s talent really is.”

“then… ?”

“I’m thinking of starting magic education about degradation soon.”

How far does the talent that shocked him reach?

Marquis Merverde’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

* * *

The Rom royal family is famous for descending from the great wizard, King Karst.

Because of this, members of the royal family had great talent in magic from generation to generation.

But besides that, there was another famous one.

Silky silver hair and silver eyes.

Sculpture-like beauty and tall height.

Members of the royal family, regardless of gender, had tremendous beauty.

The youngest prince, Leo, was also young, but his beauty was already shining.

And now.

“Sigh… .”

Prince Leo sighed softly as his bouncy cheeks puffed out.

Now, his mind was very serious.

‘Why do you have such a characteristic… .’

A talent from heaven.

Is it because it is a talent that even God would envy?

The future growth trend was solid, but at the end, a short-lived end was scheduled.

“How do I do this… .”

Leo sighed once more.

The trait of dying unconditionally when you turn 20.

Instead, until then, it is in full bloom in all aspects, whether it is military power, appearance, or intellect.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Just like a flower showing off its beauty before it withers.

He has only 13 years left.

If this was a game, it wouldn’t matter.

With this kind of talent, he would become a great wizard in no time, and he wouldn’t care if he died after playing to his heart’s content.

But not now.

“If I die, would I go back to reality outside the game… ?”

After repeating that to himself, he shook his head.

“no. It can’t be.”

It can’t be that convenient.

Of course that would be nice, but what if not?

“… Do not be ridiculous.”

Who would be happy to die?

It was the same with Leo who came into the game.

On the contrary, I didn’t want to die even more.

Parents and friends left behind on Earth.

To die in this fucking game with all those memories?

“That is real bullshit.”

Leo jumped up from his seat.

Suddenly, sparks lit up in his eyes.

“If I were to die with a quack because of just that one line trait, I wouldn’t be able to come here.”

Why did he come into this damn world?

It’s a guess, but it’s because he was the best player.

The King of Games, who has played the game for 10,000 hours and is well-versed in all elements to the point of earning the title Rotten Water!

Immediately, several ways to survive this trait popped into his mind.

The first is to use items.

In the Lost World, there are items such as elixirs and dragon hearts that are very difficult to find, but only appear in legends.

‘And I know where it is.’

However, like legendary items, it is difficult to obtain.

When I went to the library earlier in the morning, I also looked for information about him.

Forgotten areas that are rarely mentioned even in old texts.

There was a location and a way to get there in Leo’s head, but if he went there now, he would die without being able to do anything.

If so, next.

‘Even if it’s not an item, a 9th class great mage or saint will be able to heal this characteristic.’

With their powers close to demigods, it would be possible to eliminate at least one of these traits.

Of course, at the point of ‘now’, that kind of ability has not yet been born.

It will appear later when time passes, but I can’t just wait blankly until then.

In the end, there was only one way Leo could do it.

‘I myself become a great mage and heal my body.’

Crazy talent level of 10 understanding and 10 magic power.

In addition, all kinds of characteristics that are like blessings to wizards.

You have to let it bloom and get rid of the heaven-sent talent trait yourself.

After making that promise, Leo saw a book on the shelf in his room.

『Basic Magic Preparation』

Now that I felt the mana, I can take out the magic book. It was an item that Marquis Merverd left behind.

Leo picked up the book and opened it.

Then the voices I had heard earlier came back to my ears.

[Brain Rotation Super Trait activated]

[The new attribute of formula analysis is activated]

[Read the magic book]

Leo turned the pages as if possessed.

Mana overflowed around him and began to spin.
